I have a explorer 8.8 I bought off Craigslist for a jeep rod project that I ended up abandoning. I removed the perches from this otherwise it is exactly as the po described below.

narrowed explorer rear axle has short axle swap 56.75 flange to flange -2.75 than stock explorer. popular in jeeps mustangs or other projects less than 500 miles. Disc brakes. Was built with new 31 spline axles from ford, new AUBURN differential!!!!!!!! ford racing 3.73 gears, new brakes also has aluminum girdle diff cover complete!!!

Damn I wish it had 4.10 gears.... I still may be interested in April though. In fact message me when the time comes if it doesn't sell. I was going to do this same thing and this will save me all the work!
